I then wondered aloud about how rich a seam #Travelfail could be.

So begins the bidding war. We’re looking for the worst travel experience you’ve had personally. We’re trusting people (so don’t start making stuff up just to get a mention on the blog).

The bidding starts with @danslee and

“standing in a tinkle smelling layby outside Halesowen for an #Ashes lift which is stuckinatrafficjam”

I’ll be watching the comments & the hashtag and we’ll close bidding in one weeks time. I’d also be interested to hear your thoughts on what you learned from #travelfail.

(::UPDATE:: Lots of people asked me why I wasn’t adding my UN stories. Firstly an auctioneer doesn’t always bid on their own items. Plus coming in with the stories would be like having an opening bid of five pounds and then someone bidding “One Thousand Pounds”. It’s more fun this way. Honest)
